You think?
Police called, row recorded by neighbours, who knows how far it can go.
Well said.
I get the feeling that a lot of people behind the scenes know that Boris is a disaster waiting to happen and will be quite happy to derail his campaign. The problem is that the people who get to vote in this charade are generally old gammon and probably see nothing wrong with his actions. Add in the fact that his competition is Jeremy Hunt and the only way he’s not going to win is if something (even more) scandalous gets leaked and he’s made to step down. Either way we’re going to get (yet another) useless idiot in number 10.
P.s welcome to the forum btw.
As Jezza would say
"just because he is there with the bloodied knife doesn't prove incontrovertibly that he carried out the killings. He may been there but not have been taking part and I would like to see conclusive evidence before condemning him"

No thats absolutely the case.
Heres what Boris himself had to say about it when Gordon Brown became 'non-elected' Prime Minister:
“It’s the arrogance. It’s the contempt. That’s what gets me. It’s Gordon Brown’s apparent belief that he can just trample on the democratic will of the British people. It’s at moments like this that I think the political world has gone mad, and I am alone in detecting the gigantic fraud.”
“They voted for Anthony Charles Lynton (Tony) Blair to serve as their leader. They were at no stage invited to vote on whether Gordon Brown should be PM… They voted for Tony, and yet they now get Gordon, and a transition about as democratically proper as the transition from Claudius to Nero. It is a scandal. Why are we all conniving in this stitch-up? This is nothing less than a palace coup… with North Korean servility, the Labour Party has handed power over to the brooding Scottish power-maniac.”
“The extraordinary thing is that it looks as though he will now be in 10 Downing Street for three years, and without a mandate from the British people. No one elected Gordon Brown as Prime Minister…”
“Gordon Brown could appease public indignation over that, and secure the democratic mandate he needs, by asking the public to vote at once on him, on the new EU treaty, and on the implications of the devolutionary settlement. Let’s have an election without delay.”

There will be some who will say it is fake news given the coincidence of the timing, and there will be some who say - "every couple argue, just goes to show, he is just like us - a real man of the people". The police have apparently already stated there was no offence committed and no cause for police action. It will make no difference to his campaign I suspect; minds are already made up.

conveniently recorded by her neighbour.....get off me get off me.
And then blame the murders on the "previous Labour government"!
I am not the political type either but as I understand it, at a general election you do not vote for, or elect, the Prime Minister. Instead you vote for a party, the leader of which is the Prime Minister, and who is selected and may be changed by the members of the party during the term of office. In fact I believe that around half of the Prime Ministers in the history of the UK have come into office in circumstances other than a general election. Were Boris to become PM without being 'voted in by the people' it would not be at all unusual. I could be totally wrong here.
No thats absolutely the case.

Sadly, I fully expect any and every politician from all parties to say one thing, and then do the exact opposite when it suits them. They are all self serving hypocrites, each as bad as the other, and choosing one is like selecting one of two cheeks of the same arse. The only surprise, to me at least, is that anyone would expect anything else, or believe that any one party would be better than any other. Yet somehow, these days the levels of dislike and vitriol between those with apparently opposing political views has never been greater. It is a mystery to me, and one that I do not care to understand. All I know is that none of these is worth my vote.No thats absolutely the case.
